The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.
Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?
That is more than 0.5C ago.

The cost-of-living crisis is getting worse. Inflation is up 3.8%, driven by a 37% increase in electricity prices and 11% increase in childcare — all in one year. www.greenleft.org.au/2025/1444/an...
Now is the time to talk about nationalising essential services
Private generators regularly game the national electricity market to drive up wholesale prices, writes Max Chandler-Mather, and it’s time for a rethink on essential services like energy and childcare.
